All of the front bushings on my 2006 650i with 105k miles are completely shot and need to be replaced.

I read a great post here on pressing the original ones out with a gear puller, but I am thinking i will just replace the arms and bushing as complete, new parts if the price difference is not huge.

Any recommendations on parts? Ive heard some people recommend EACTuning parts, but the site seems to be down.

Looking at the diagram I think it might make sense to press new bushings into the front, lower controll arms, and replace the front, upper controll arm as a whole unit. If I replace just the bushing on the front lower control arm, will the ball joint just die in another 20k miles?
